During my discussions with Paul McGowan, we chatted about his PS Records effort and the slicing up of the pie amongst artist, studio, and record label. They intend to retail the new 2-disc high-resolution compilation for almost $40. This makes it a reasonably high priced collection of 10-12 tunes.

Yesterday, I talked about the listening session Paul McGowan and I had in his demo room in Boulder, Colorado. The sound and fidelity of his system was very impressive and I enjoyed auditioning AIX Records tracks from John Gorka, The Latin Jazz Trio, and Jennifer Warnes.

Paul McGowan and I sat in his newish demonstration room last Wednesday and listened to a variety of high-resolution source material. I admit I was anxious to hear some of my favorite 96 kHz/24-bit PCM stereo files through his elaborate, high-end system.

I've visited the mountains and western slope of Colorado more than any other state outside of my home state of Michigan and my new home in California. And I'm here once again.

As a recording engineer and music producer, I'm often confronted with the question, what is the ultimate expression of my craft? Is the goal to capture and recreate the sound experienced at a live concert through a set of headphones, a high-end stereo system, or finely tuned automobile playback system?
